At the start of the year he would have been regarded as around 18-28 in the rankings. I suspect he has now moved to the 14-18 bracket.

We seem to be having this problem with a few players not necessarily having linear development.. ie Brayshaw and Tom Mac. Nice problem to have IF they continue on the upward cycle. With improvement in his disposal Frost has the ability to get to the 10-14 bracket.

You're understating it. According to the Demonland Player of the Year, he's currently our 7th best player and we all know that as a group, Demonland is never wrong.

Point taken however I would like to think that his ranking this year reflects our terrible form rather than his underlying ability.

;)

Frosty brings something different to our back-line, pace.

So long as he curbs his ability to run himself into trouble, he is worth having in the team everyday of the week compared to SLOMAC, and twice on Sundays.

If true we are chasing Keath, i wouldn't mind seeing him come in at the expense of Oscar.

 

In Frost we trust, future captain.

I wouldn't mind seeing Donald Duck come in at the expense of OMac.


Surely Frost stays after his best season! 

Although it is tempting to throw more first rounders at Adelaide for Keath. Get him, and that's three or four first rounders plus Jesse Hogan for our three tall defenders (not to mention about $2m per year). 

Makes even more sense when the team's strength is its forward line.

we have not seen the best of frost, keep him. i would try him on a wing, his speed and height would be an asset there.

Wow!

Just clueless.

Frost still has Frost moments, but he gives us a different dynamic down back with his speed and dash. If we have a Lever and May fit and healthy next year then Frost will go up another level. The big improvement for me has been his intercept marking.

Closing in on 100 games next year so another experience defender we need down back.

Must re-sign asap.

Maybe he prefers ANB at CHB.

Anyone got a list of the other players out of contract at the end of this season?

There's a really good pinned thread at the top of the board.

I am not anti Frosty but I am amazed he hasn't copped the flak O Mac has.

He's not a bad player, but he makes a lot of turnovers which go over the umpires hat.... But he's not alone there.

 


Frost is out of contract and playing good football. He is driving his own price up and probably the interest of other clubs. 

I can't see Melbourne keeping him. We have May, Lever, Jetta, Hibbo, OMac is cheap and we look better with Lewis in there somewhere. Probably bring in a fresh defender. 

Other than speed and unpredictability Frost also competes with his direct opponent.There are  many, many examples of his second and third efforts and scrounging ground balls to advantage,

Compared to Oscars insipid contests give me Frosty everytime. Show him the money Please.

Reckon he would be a good wingman; reckon he is an asset at CHB. If he didn't have to double-team when OMac is in the team, he'd be a helluva backman across a whole game rather than being exhausted by the third quarter time after covering his own man and that of OMac for the first three quarters. Frosty is developing a style - it is just unconventional; he is going to be even more effective in the future so sign him up now.

I think this is correct...

PRIMARY LIST:

Baker
Garlett
Frost
Jones
Kennedy Harris
Lewis
Maynard
Neal-Bullen
J.Smith
Stretch
J.Wagner

ROOKIE LIST:

Chandler
Keilty
T.Smith
C.Wagner
Bradtke
Walker

Wasn't there media coverage just a couple of days ago confirming Jones has renewed for one more year?

Addendum: A quick web search suggests that Jones has yet to sign on but has apparently been offered a one year deal by the club.

He worked on his game to be able to run fast and then kick short. He may not always hit targets but its obvious he listens to what he needs to do. I am glad so many are wanting him to stay.

Frost is deadly. I love his speed, aggression, tackling and heart. I'm rapt so many others on here want him to stay at Melbourne. So do I. This is a thread that is SO refreshingly optimistic and much needed at this point in time.

Interested in what you see/not see in Frost to move him on.

 

Sign him up please has been our best defender this year 

Hasn't cost us 1.6 million like the other two

SIGN HIM UP!!

Really?? Wow close on our most improved player and in a Carnage year, I'll take Frost anyday of the week. PACE, RUN, INTERCEPT MARKING, HAS SOME SERIOUS X factor. Other clubs would love to get him and if we turn our backs and Blink. Bang he will be gone. Time to resign PRONTO

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
